Hearing my dad use male pronouns when referring to me when he thinks I’m not listening is easily the one of the best feelings on this Earth.

Slightly Scary
I’ve been short of breath ever since I got home from school today. So right when I got home I took my binder off to try and relax, hoping that it was just a feeling of claustrophobia. But it hasn’t gone away, and I’ve had my binder off for 6 hours now. I don’t really know how to describe the feeling, it’s kind of like I can’t fill my lungs entirely with air -...

I feel like a kid before Christmas
I’ve got everything all printed off and filled out for my new Social Security Card - printed off directions from the courthouse to the SSA office so I can go right from my name change to get a new card. Also filled out my forms for getting a new teaching certificate with my soon-to-be legal name.  I’m acting as though it’s Christmas eve, when in reality, I still have 17 more...

Job?
I’m in a dilemma. I found this job that I fit all of the qualifications for, and then some, and it appears to be the perfect teaching job for me. It’s part time, and right by my house. The problem? It’s an all girls catholic high school. If I apply at all, it’ll be after my name change and all of my legal documents have been changed. So the question is, do I apply and go...

“I define power now by having the confidence to make your own decisions and to...”
– Adele, when being photographed for Vogue. It’s hard for me to not be swayed by other people, especially my parents, when it comes to my transition. My mom’s strongest argument is that I’m too young to be making such “rash decisions.” That’s usually what sways me...

This is the first time in several months where I am in a significant amount of pain after my monthly Lupron shot. My usual nurse-who, might I add, is THE BEST shot giver on the face of the earth by the way-was not available for some reason today so I don’t know if the nurse that gave me the shot was in a rush or if she was just plain old inexperienced, but GODDAMN I hurt.  I also...

Going on Injectables
I’m seriously considering switching from gel to Injectables. The gel is great and I’ve been seeing results but I need to save my money and being on IM Injections will save me about $120 over the course of three months. I’m apprehensive to inject myself, I’m pretty good with needles and I’ve certainly gotten better with this Lupron shot every month, but injecting...

Every day is a new experience for me
Today I went to the Sheriff’s office in my town to get my fingerprints taken. According to Michigan law, after submitting a name change petition to the Clerk’s office, you need to “go to your local law enforcement agency and get your fingerprints taken on the RI-8 form that is to be sent to the FBI and Michigan State Police.” Having submitted my petition last week, I needed...

QUICK! HELP!
I just got a job interview at a place that needs to see my driver’s license, BUT MY NAME ISN’T CHANGED YET! Is it legal to walk around with a “damaged” driver’s license? I’m thinking of just “accidentally” scratching out the “F” under the sex marker. I feel like I can better explain the fact that my parents gave me a terribly feminine...
